What CDs to buy

@espilka 

Thanks for the suggestions, I will check out these albums as I don't have them on vinyl.

Thanks for the ideas....from your earlier post it didn't seem that you understood my objective.  CDs are new to my world since becoming an audiophile with a true hi-fi system.  I suppose I do have expectation that the SQ from CDs will exceed streaming.  I have a few hundred CDs from my collections from 30 years ago and have not heard an appreciable difference in comparing several of them to Qobuz.

A lot of great suggestions.  One I haven't seen....Arista GRP.  One of the pioneers of CD digital mastering.  Some of the early stuff was done with JVC Japan.  Always sounds amazing and I'll buy any I see at the Goodwill if I'm browsing for CDs.  Great Jazz catalog!

A few suggestions:

 

Blues & Blues/Rock - any of Joanne Shaw Taylor’s CDs

- Gary Moore Legacy, Bad for You Baby

- Luther Allison Live in Chicago; Live in Paris

- Walter Trout We’re All in This Together, ALive in Amsterdam

- Christone Kingfish Ingram - Kingfish

-Alastair Green - Dream Train, Live From the 805

- Coco Montoya - Hard Truth

- Popa Chubby Live Big Bad Beautiful

- Alvin Lee Pure Blues

- Joe Bonamassa - Blues of Desperation, Blues Deluxe

- John Mayall - 70th Birthday Concert

 

Jazz - Female Vocals

- All of Lyndsey Websters and Melody Gardot CDs

- Maysa Blue Velvet Soul
